Residents notice decorators arriving far more than they notice a memo circulated weeks earlier, which is exactly why clear, timely notice matters. We agree with the managing agent what residents are told, when, and who they contact if something is unclear.
Dates, which areas are affected, expected access restrictions and a contact name are the minimum. Vague notices that just say 'decorating works ongoing' generate more queries on the day than a specific one ever would.
Notices go out early enough that residents can plan around them, and are followed by a reminder closer to the actual start date, since an early notice is easily forgotten by the time work begins weeks later.
A named site contact who residents can actually reach matters more than the notice itself. Questions on the day are answered directly rather than residents being redirected repeatedly between the agent and the crew.
This is agreed with the managing agent based on the scale of the job, with an initial notice followed by a reminder closer to the start.
A named contact is provided in the notice, either from our team or the agent, so residents are not passed between parties.
Where reasonably possible, yes — this is usually coordinated through the managing agent.
Ask us for a draft resident notice you can review and issue before the works begin.
Clear, specific, well-timed notice to residents prevents most of the questions that otherwise land on day one.
